The cabinet on Wednesday approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to be signed between Thailand and Vietnam on maritime law, said Rachada Dhnadirek, a deputy government spokeswoman.
The agreement was proposed by the Thai Maritime Enforcement Command Centre (Thai MECC) in 2022 to promote tighter cooperation in law enforcement and heighten maritime security for both countries.
The cooperation will also deter and suppress illegal imports, illegal immigration and illegal fishing while promoting marine ecology preservation and maritime search and rescue efforts. The MoU signing is expected to be held next month, said Ms Rachada.
